This traditional Irish drinking song tells of the return of a gallivanting young man who returns home to settle down and finds that everyone he might have slighted back in the old days when he was a more unscrupulous person is more than willing to forgive him his offenses now that he’s rich. Good thing he had the good sense to earn some money after reforming himself; we all know what would have happened if he had gone back a penniless decent human being.
